Abstract

<p>A 7-year-old woman presented with severe neck pain without any specific triggers. She was diagnosed with cervical disc calcification at another hospital. Cervical Computed Tomography showed calcification within the intervertebral disc space at C3/4 and protrusion toward the spinal canal. Cervical Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed severe compression of the spinal cord with intramedullary intensity change. She was treated conservatively with a cervical collar. Severe neck pain was gradually decreased and finally disappeared. Similarly, calcification protruding toward the spinal canal was gradually disappeared. Conservative treatment should be considered for pediatric cervical disc calcification even if there was a compressive spinal cord lesion.</p>
